Description

Had the pleasure of doing this route with Frank and "Lovely Liana" just a few days after their first ascent. The first half of the route involves INCREDIBLY fun face moves. The second half begins with fingers to AWKWARD hands.

There is still a little bit of flaky rock on this pitch, but the face climbing is high quality with good protection. A single set of camalots from 0.5 to #4 friend will protect the upper hand crack. Doubles from 0.75 to 3 will sew it up.
